Mike Hesson reveals RCB's preparations and plans ahead of IPL 2021

We are just days away from the fourteenth edition of the Indian Premier League, and the franchises have begun preparing for the upcoming season.

On the latest episode of Myntra presents RCB Bold Diaries, Mike Hesson revealed some of the most asked questions regarding the Bengaluru-based club’s training camp and player arrival.

“We have got players arriving all the way through to 1st April, which is where we get the NOCs for some of our overseas players. Finn Allen is playing T20s in New Zealand till 1st April, and he will be coming the day after. Australians play until the 31st, the likes of Daniel Sams, Kane Richardson then jump on a plane and come. ABD and Glenn Maxwell arrive on the 28th,” he said on Bold Diaries.

Adam Zampa is getting hitched

"Adam Zampa is getting married. It's an important time for him and it's something that as a franchise we are aware of and we respect and we hope he has a great time. So when he joins us, once again he is going to be fresh and make a massive contribution to the rest of the tournament," the director of cricket operations added.

On player availability for the season opener

"We won't have our full contingent of overseas players available for the first game. We have got players that haven’t been in the bubble all the time, so they will come straight, bubble to bubble transfer from Pune and they will be able to join us. We have got one or two that are going to have a day or two at home. They have been in the bubble for so long so they need to freshen up. They will arrive and will have to undertake their seven-day quarantine,” Hesson added

We at Royal Challengers Bangalore would like to congratulate our star, Adam Zampa on entering a new phase in life and also wish him the very best.
